ATL: KARL - Recon discussion

[x-y-no]

71*90% = 63.9
71*85% = 60.35
71*80% = 56.8

Not sure which reduction to use.

0.8 from this height, so around 55kts.

There were a couple of unflagged 57 knot SFMR readings in that area too, so that seems right.

[brunota2003]

No, those winds are in knots, and 55 knots is about 65 mph.

[HURAKAN]

Looks like the NHC went with 90%, 65 mph

RECENT DATA FROM AN AIR FORCE RESERVE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT
INDICATE THAT TROPICAL STORM KARL HAS MAXIMUM WINDS OF NEAR
65 MPH

65 mph = 55 knots

[P.K.]

There is a list, right on this forum in fact! See the bottom of my post here http://www.storm2k.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=85603&start=0.

Bookmarked! Will have to go through and read all of that later this afternoon.

There is a NOAA plane en route. Someone else please do that one as I cannot really keep up with three planes at once.

am i reading that right, 104kt at 925 mb?

[cycloneye]

What is the reduction in this mission?

[brunota2003]

Reduction should be 80% for a mission at 850mb...I wonder how much longer it'll be before the winds really start catching up. How much longer is recon out there for?

[cyclonic chronic]

this is like alex in that the winds do not corespond to the pressure.

[plasticup]

Recon heading back for another pass.
